The Idol of an Easy LIfe
Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity
Our culture (and our human nature) condition us to expect and desire an easy life. Rather than serving, we want to be served. Rather than sacrifice, we want comfort. In this episode of the Embracing a Simpler Life podcast we will be exposing the idol of an easy life, considering the value of "easy" in eternity, and taking a look at what the Bible has to say.

Living a Life of Spiritual Discipline with Leigh Ann Dutton
Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity
When we become believers, we are given the privilege of entering into a restored, love relationship with the very God who created us. There is an incomprehensible glory and weightiness in that calling. We learn what it means to take up our cross (sacrificing "self") in order to follow Him.

Media Choices in Light of Eternity (TV Edition)
Embracing a Simpler Life in Light of Eternity
Have you ever wondered what the Bible has to say about the media we choose to consume?
info_outlineWe know that we want to hunger and thirst for God, but sometimes we just... don't.
And yet, each day we spend on this earth is a holy opportunity to live in an eternally meaningful way. If we fail to do that, the opportunity is lost forever. If we allow ourselves to wrap up in the wrong things, the implications are profound. If we allow ourselves to love the world more than our Savior, the results are tragic.
So, is there a way to cultivate desire for God in our lives where it lacks? We think so!
In this episode I'm so excited to introduce you to a very important person in my life. She is one of my long-time best friends, and I think you'll quickly see why I count her as such a blessing.
Please join us as we talk about:
- the principle of discipline before desire
- how to really find time to spend with God as a busy mother or individual
- the fruit born in our lives through patient endurance
